The Real-Time OS HI7000/4
Revised to V.2.02 Release 01 |
We have revised the real-time OS HI7000/4 from V.2.01 Release 00 to V.2.02
Release 01. The HI7000/4 supports the SH-1-, SH-2-, SH2-DSP-, SH-2E-
(excluding FPU), SH-2A- and SH2A-FPU-cored MCUs, SuperH RISC engine family.
NOTE: V.2.02 Release 00 is missing number.
- Versions Concerned
HI7000/4 V.2.00 Release 00 through V.2.01 Release 00
- Descriptions of Revision
| 2.1 |
|
Functions Introduced and Improved
| (1) |
|
Whether to use register banks or not is chosen at each interrupt
priority level. (Register banks are implemented only in the
SH-2A-cored MCUs.)
|
| (2) |
|
The direct interrupt handler can be defined by the def_inh or
idef_inh service call.
|
| (3) |
|
Vector number 26 can be used only by Kernel.
|
| (4) |
|
In the variable-length memory-pool functions, time for Kernel
to handle service calls is reduced when the CFG_NEWMPL check
box is checked. (This check box is in the Modification of
Variable-Size Memory Pool Information dialog box of the
configurator.)
|
| (5) |
|
When the configurator is invoked, the hcf file saved at the last
time can be opened automatically.
|
| (6) |
|
If the configurator automatically adjusts values in the
following combo boxes, messages telling the adjustments are
displayed:
- CFG_LOWINTNST
- CFG_TIMINTLVL
- CFG_MAXVCTNO

Problem Fixed
The problem described below has been fixed. It had been encountered
in the previous versions V.2.00 Release 00 through V.2.01 Release 00.
Problem:
Unnecessary "extern" statements are created in files generated by the
configurator. As a result, errors arise during compilation of any
kernel_def.c or kernel_cfg.c files.
Conditions:
This problem occurs if the following conditions are all satisfied:
| (1) |
|
The Allocated by Kernel radio button is selected in the Task
creation, Fixed-size memory pool creation, or Variable-size
memory pool creation dialog box of the configurator.
|
| (2) |
|
Any address is typed in the Address edit box placed under the
dialog box mentioned above. |
Note that this problem may also occur if generation of a fixed-length
or variable-length memory pool is specified in an hcf file by the
configurator of version 1.xx, and this hcf file is read by that of
version 2.00 or later. |
